Question
i am wondering if because i have personality disorder if i attract abuse into my life by men i am struggling alot with this.........please help

Answer
Dear Stefanie

I am not allowed to diagnose anyone, but attracting abusive people into your life is usually a reflection of how you abuse yourself. That does not mean that you have a personality disorder. Most people with personality disorders do not know that they have a personality disorder and wouldn't admit it if they did.
